Born in Samut Songkhram, Thailand, Lampu is a Thai painter and sculptor who currently lives and works in Bangkok. She graduated with a Bachelor’s and a Master’s of Fine Arts from Silpakorn University in Bangkok. Her work celebrates the human condition in all its weird and whimsical glory. The people populating her paintings are typically rendered out of proportion, their oversized heads allowing for extreme expressions, exaggerated for comic effect. She uses vibrant colours to magnify and bring to life the idiosyncrasies and eccentricities of the characters in her artworks. While she may satirise society and everyday life, she also inspires an honest appreciation for humanity with all our absurdities, foibles and strengths. In 2012, she was an artist in residence at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. In Thailand, her works have been exhibited widely, including three solo exhibitions at Ardel Gallery of Modern Art (2009, 2011 and 2013).
